The project’s overall massing attempts to take best advantage of urban connections to neighboring plots, provide maximum exposure to the two main roads, and celebrate views back toward the city center and the wetlands beyond. The mixed-use program is distributed across the site in order to take advantage of urban adjacencies, maximize views, and create as lively a destination as possible.

A strong, iconic identity for the office tower was created by creating a series of interlocking volumes that results in a number of external terraces, both shared and private. The uppermost floors are the client’s new office and orient themselves back towards the city that the client helped create.  Rather than a conventional office space, the design vertically integrates the offices and links them via an open, multilevel atrium space that helps create a sense of community within the office.
